For the second time in as many weeks, a Broncos player has been recognized with an AFC award. Trindon Holliday, who essentially sealed Sunday's victory over the Giants with an 81-yard punt-return score, is the AFC Special Teams POW for Week 2.

We expected this was coming, but now the Denver Post has confirmed: Ryan Clady's 2013 season is over.

Per Mike Klis:

The Broncos' all-pro left tackle will have season-ending surgery on his injured left foot, according to an NFL source.

Also according to Klis, the Broncos will sign tackle Winston Justice, who played several seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles before starting for the Indianapolis Colts last year. Justice is a former 2nd-round pick who still has enough athleticism to be a swing tackle and plug a gap should either Chris Clark or Orlando Franklin ever go down.

In light of the slew of negative headlines attached to Von Miller of late, the Broncos have circled their wagons around their young star.

According to Lindsay Jones, the team is doing all it can to keep the 24-year-old All-Pro out of further trouble.

To that end, Von has spent extra time with coaches and Jerry Butler (the team's player development director), been joined in Colorado by his parents and brother, and his lawyers and agents have been in daily contact with the team.

Champ Bailey, Wesley Woodyard, and Joel Dreessen were held out of practice on Wednesday. However, Woodyard - who injured his ankle in the aftermath of Danny Trevathan's sophomoric premature TD celebration - says he expects to be ready for Sunday's Manning Bowl 3.

Bailey, who missed the opener due to his preseason foot injury, is reportedly getting close to returning, but it's unclear whether he will be available this week.

Just one NFL game at center was apparently enough for the Broncos to lock up Manny Ramirez through the 2015 season.

Granted, that game featured perhaps the toughest assignment Ramirez will face all year, in Ravens NT Haloti Ngata. And while Ngata was credited by PFF with two QB hurries, neither of them came at the expense of Ramirez, who had a clean grade sheet in his positional debut.
